Box seats, or masu seki, are basically a (small) square of tatami mat into which 4 or 6 people fit, so you have to buy all 4 or 6 seats. Note that these are not spacious: they’d typically fit four small Japanese grannies or one sumo wrestler comfortably. Tatami has more give than wood or concrete, but most people bring their own cushions. The box seats are further divided into A, B , and C — moving progressively further from the action. You can reserve box seats on JTB Sunrise Tours. Arena seats: Easier to get A great option when a tournament is unavailable to match your travel dates is to book a Tokyo Sumo Stable tour or other sumo experience through Viator or Klook.

The sumo wrestlers are known as rikishi in Japanese (the two characters of the kanji meaning “strength” and “warrior”). There are around 650 rikishi in the six divisions of sumo: Opening, closing, and any weekend days are always the busiest. As you’ll know if you’ve been to Tokyo Cheapo before, it’s best to do things off-peak. This means to see cheap sumo in Tokyo, your best bet is a weekday falling between days 3 to 6 and 10 to 12. Sumo Wrestling tournaments are held approximately every two months and can shift between different venues across Japan. I researched both the sumo wrestling and baseball schedules before finalising our Japan visit itinerary, to ensure that we had the best opportunity to attend both events during our Tokyo visit.

Official sumo tournaments (called “basho”) are held three times a year in Tokyo — in January, May, and September— at Ryōguku Kokugikan, the national sumo stadium. Each tournament is held over 15 days, so there’s a total of 45 days of top-class sumo in Tokyo each year. There are no weight classes. It’s not just about size: agility can be equally important and the smaller rikishi have the advantage that they can step aside and slip in behind their larger opponent and use his considerable momentum against him.

And the whole book is like that - you're encouraged to shift your perspective by thinking and looking at things in a different way. It's a cool way to go forward and not a little like CBT (look it up).

Audible writes, "S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean "get over it" or "pull yourself together" (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary): "Shut Up" means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential; "Move On" means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action. There are six S.U.M.O. principles that are designed to help you create and enjoy a brilliant life. If you are wrestling with life's challenges, these principles will help you do so more successfully.There's no way to choose three and a half stars unless you stab at the screen half way between the icons and see which one your subconsciousness guides you towards.

Base salary is decided by rank. Yokozuna make about ¥2.8 million per month with juryo division wrestlers earning about ¥1 million per month. Newton said, “I love women. There is nothing I love more.” He remarked that he wanted to present his women as strong and powerful. However, he has been called misogynistic, most memorably to his face by writer, activist and philosopher Susan Sontag. The clip from French TV features in a new documentary called Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful (2020). I bought the above book and for the first time ever I understood. It's light hearted to read, with a real sense of the author has been through tough times too, he wasn't just preaching.

The first ritual is called chikara-mizu (literally “strength water”), each rikishi receiving this water from the opponent they defeated last. Like the cleansing process at the shrines and temples, each rikishi will take a handful of water and swill it in their mouth. Next they take a handful of kiyome-no-shio (cleansing salt) and throw it over the ring before entering. A rikishi receives his chikara-mizu
